Great Smartwool Midlayer. At time of purchase I thought it was a quality product but very expensive. After wearing it this Midwest polar vortex ski season I'm sold on it's benefits so I bought two more just to keep as backups. I'd recommend paying a little more for a heaver midlayer than purchasing the Smartwool thinner base layer top (which I also bought) if you can only afford one. Nice durable knit construction. Snug stretchy body forming fit that with thumbholes makes it ideal for layering under ski jackets without worrying about selves creeping up when you put your coat on and stretch during skiing. And my experience with STP's customer service and dashboard is always 5 stars outstanding.

Very comfortable, warm great mid-layer. My son who is very picky about his clothes, and how they fit and feel now wears it as an anytime sweater. He liked it so much he wanted a second one. As we are referees out in the elements quite often, we each wanted the second one to wear as a sweater since we use the first ones we ordered has a mid-layer while officiating.

You can never go wrong with SmartWool. I've purchased other items from them and they always meet my expectations. After an abnormally cold winter in the Midwest, I thought it would behoove me to add a few sweaters or mid layers to the closet. This mid layer is exceedingly warm and of a thicker, sturdier material than the other SmartWool mid layer I own. It's well made and has a nice athletic cut. As usual you can't beat the price at STP.

I am 6'6", 215, 42 chest, and 37 sleeve . The Large is a good fit for me. If your chest is 42 ish this would fit you quit well. Personally, I think you will be swimming in a XL

I have this shirt in a medium. There is no top of shoulder seam on this shirt so I measured from the collar seam center of my back (C4 spinal bone) to the bottom of the shirt and it was 26 1/2". I think it would tuck in fine for walking around. My concern would be how active you would be bending over a lot then the back my pop out. In contrast, my mountain hardware fleece in a Medium measures 28" measured at the same location.
